Dave's Killer Bread is a leading organic bread brand in the U.S, offering 17 varieties of whole grain organic bakery products. Established in 2005, it has garnered widespread distribution across the U.S. and Canada. The company prides itself on its commitment to organic, Non-GMO Project Verified products, with a focus on nutrition and taste, standing out in both conventional and organic bread categories.
Founded as Nature Bake in 1955 by the Dahl family, the company rebranded to Dave’s Killer Bread after the success of its best-selling variety. Notably, the brand's unique story stems from Dave Dahl, who brought his redemption journey to the family bakery after 15 years in prison, becoming the inspiration behind the brand. The company's dedication to social responsibility is reflected in its employment practices, with one in three employees having a criminal background.
Since its last Private Equity Round investment in December 2012 by Goode Partners, Dave's Killer Bread continues to thrive in the Food and Beverage, Internet, and Retail industries, maintaining its headquarters in the United States. With John Tucker at the helm as CEO and President, the company remains dedicated to promoting Second Chance employment through the establishment of the Dave’s Killer Bread Foundation and sponsorship of the annual Second Chance Summit.
